Small rodent sound
Hello everyone, I’m experiencing a problem with my microphone. It’s producing an unusual squealing sound that resembles feedback.
I'm utilizing a Sennheiser Game One headset, which I believe is a superior product when used on my previous MacBook without any complications. However, with my new Windows 10 computer, this same squealing noise appears behind my voice.
I’m confident that the microphone itself isn't to blame, as I’ve experimented with numerous different earbuds and headsets, and all exhibit the identical noise on my PC, yet not on my MacBook. Consequently, I suspect the issue lies with the computer system. The headset employs a USB adapter to connect both its input and output, and I’ve tested it without the adapter—the outcome remains consistent. Could you advise me on what might be causing this?
If you require further details, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you for your assistance.
Several factors might be causing this issue—
1. Faulty audio drivers could be the problem; consider reinstalling your Audio Drivers or the Headset Driver if your device includes one.
2. Incorrect settings within “Windows Control Panel” may be responsible; adjust your microphone configurations and test to see if it resolves the problem. To accomplish this, open “Windows Control Panel” > “Sound / Volume,” then click the "Recording" tab and right-click your headset’s “Microphone” device, selecting “Properties,” and modifying the settings to identify any issues. You can also enable the "listen" feature so you can hear your speech as you make adjustments and verify its functionality.
3. Since the problem persists even without a USB adapter, you should explore testing your headset on another computer.

3. If the problem persists, even without a USB adapter, it’s possible your computer has a defective port – potentially your motherboard's USB input or the integrated audio on your motherboard itself.

The sound is originating from your video card, and I’m still searching for a resolution, though I haven't found one yet.
